Needs a lot of work and more options; like... - ability to hide the side info - resize the video popup - get the hover timer to work - choose hover or a click option -etc... You know, the kind of options that would be a bit obvious to the average developer.

Timer doesn't seem to work (always defaults to ~10ms), popping up constantly, unintentionally

current requirement to get this addon to work: YouTube > Settings > Playback and performance > Browsing > Video previews (toggle this off)

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Quickview for YouTube requires very minimum permissions.
